The same Sooners defensive backs who pulled their nickname from a Lil Wayne song and were praised early in the season are getting attention again after another opponent put up massive passing numbers in a loss that knocked Oklahoma (8-2, 5-2 Big 12) out of the national championship race.

Baylor’s Robert Griffin III threw for a school record 479 yards and Oklahoma yielded 616 total yards — the most in the history of the storied program — in a 45-38 loss Saturday night.

Coach Bob Stoops said Tuesday that a series of mistakes led to the big numbers, including poor communication, failures to handle the Bears’ fast pace and simply bad coverage but he believes it all can be fixed.
